~~~} The enchanted forest

"Charming I am not just going to calm down! This is my day and she has ruined it, just like she has ruined everything else!" Snow stated firmly. Their white carriage rolled the back way through the forest toward the castle. Some wisps of her raven black hair was falling out of her bun and her big white dress flared around her as she sat tensely. Charming who had a much less tense form rested his hand on her knee. They locked eyes and even though he was calm Snow could still see the fear present.

"We will be stronger than her by forming a union. We will put peace into our kingdom and love that has never been there before and she will destroy herself." With a huff Snow sat back in her seat, not believing Charming's words at all. But before she could say anything further on the subject, something caught her eye. A spark glinted in the green written forest, "Stop the carriage!" She found herself yelling.

Charming's mouth fell open as he watched his new wife practically fall out of the carriage. Her head whipped around looking for that spark of green again but she couldn't find it. No instead she found a beam of light shooting from that general direction. Charming saw it too and grasped his wife's hand to make sure she didn't go after it. But she just ripped her hand out of his grasp and took off towards the light.

"This woman will be the death of me." Charming muttered to himself before chasing her.

Snow stopped short when the light began to blind her and she squeezed her eyes shut tight. She felt the heat of the light slowly die and peeked one eye open. She blinked several times regaining her posture and stepped forward hesitantly. Charming almost fell into her when he came to an abrupt halt behind her. Loud wails of a baby filled their ears and their eyes widened in unison.

There in the brush wrapped up in a light blue blanket was a baby squirming around.

Snow wasted no time in dropping to the ground and scooping the baby up into her arms. She scanned the blanket and noticed a big green A was embroidered on the blanket. She frowned in confusion and Charming gazed at the child over her shoulder. "She's looks barely a week old." Snow cooed her finger tracing the babies jawline and cheek. "Who would do such a thing to a baby?" Charming asks incredulously.

But Snow didn't even hear her husband as a thought struck her and an excited glint could be seen in her eyes. She spun around cradling the baby to her chest and locked eyes with Charming. "What if this baby is a sign?"

Charming narrowed his eyes in confusion so Snow continued to ramble on. "Hours ago the queen made a terrible threat,or prophecy, however you want to look at it, and someone out there is showing us a sign of hope! That we can have salvation, and a peaceful kingdom." Snow waited patiently for her husbands response.

"And you got all that from finding a baby in the woods..." He murmured.

Snows wide smile dropped into a scowl. "I'm being serious Charming... What if this baby plays a big part in our lives?" She asked brushing past him and starting off toward the carriage.

"I hope you're right." He mumbled trudging after her. He couldn't help but smile at thinking they would be taking care of a little baby.

Maybe things would change.
